Basics of
Fatigue Analysis
Fatigue analysis is a critical step in
designing and optimizing products that
require high reliability and durability.
It involves calculating whether a
structure will fail after a certain number
of repeated loading and unloading
cycles.
Fatigue analysis is intended for solutions
to structures in a large number of
loading cycles.
It helps identify the points of failure and
prevent product malfunctions, recalls, or
even catastrophic events.
A fatigue analysis is performed to
calculate whether a structure will fail
after a certain number of repeated
loading and unloading, so-called load
cycles, rather than after one load cycle
as simulated in a static analysis.
There are three well established
methods for calculating fatigue; Stress
Life, Strain Life, and Linear Elastic
Fracture Mechanics.
